This publication gives an account of the process carried out in the development of two projects based on some contributions of the DIY perspective (do it yourself) to university teaching. We present the fundamentals of the projects and the phases of their development:

Training of teachers;

Implementation in ten subjects of Fine Arts, Pedagogy, Social Education and Primary and Secondary Education;

The tensions and contributions that arise in the process;

And the role of digital visual objects (OVDs) that students generate to reflect their learning paths.

All this in order to discover new ways of learning that are closer to the realities and needs of the students, and to rethink the role of the teacher to face the challenges of a changing world.
